Even more Namatala kids are now getting an education – and it’s all down to our business start-up programme!
Everything that Child of Hope does is focused on helping children. And we know that children thrive best when they live in a good home environment. That’s why we help our parents to start businesses because we know that bringing up children well requires money.
There are so many needy and deserving children in Namatala but a place cannot be found for all of them at our school – we are only able to take one (occasionally two) children from each of the very poorest families. While boosting the income of our parents obviously benefits all of their children, it is always sad when siblings of our children cannot go to school.

Latest figures show that 77 of our IGA parents are now able to send at least one other child to school. This means that – on top of all the 360 children at our school – a further 216 children are attending local schools through the help of Child of Hope!
Please help us by donating a £25 business grant or by helping to sponsor one of our IGA workers!
